Pre-Shot Golf Routine: How Important Is It?
If you've read any golf psychology books you'll notice how each stresses the importance of a consistence pre-shot golf routine. Bob Rotella, a famous writer about golf psychology talks about the pre-shot golf routine in much detail. So if you're unfamiliar with a what a pre-shot routine in golf is, it is basically a sequence of steps or actions that you take before every single shot during your round. Every golfer has their own particular pre-shot routine, this can include alignment, the number of practice swings, waggles over the ball, as well as the timing of each movement or event. This all happens before actually hit your golf shot.
Why is a pre-shot golf routine important? A pre-shot routine basically makes you only focus on each step of your pre-shot routine. It helps to eliminate any bad or negative thoughts, nervousness, etc. before hitting your shot. A lot of golfers will step up to the tee and see white out of bounds stakes right or maybe there is a lake you need to carry and then you only start to focus on avoiding those obstacles. So if you see out of bounds stakes right, you may make a swing that overcompensates and you end up in the left woods. Or if you're thinking about hitting it over a lake 200 yards away when you're average carry is 220 yards away you may swing to hard to make sure you hit it over the lake when you really just needed to get up to the ball and take your normal swing. The pre-shot golf routine helps prevent these negative thoughts. It forces you to focus and only focus on the certain steps of your pre-shot routine and if you're focusing on those simple, yet relevant tasks you're not thinking about the lake you have to carry or preventing yourself from slicing the ball out of bounds to the right.
If you watch any golf professionals during a PGA Tournament on television you'll notice they all have a pre-shot routine. Each one has different steps and mannerisms before they step up and begin their actual backswing of the shot at hand.
Pre-Shot Golf Routine
So what can a pre-shot routine actually consist of? There can be very few steps you take during your pre-shot routine or there can be more. It all depends on the type of golfer. Once you have your club selection and you're confident you have the correct club you can start your pre-shot routine. This can start with alignment. Some golfers prefer 1-3 practice swings and some take their practice swings behind the ball, while others may take their practice swings right next to the ball lining up to the target. It can also include any current swing thoughts you have. Maybe you've been working on a move in your backswing that you repeat three times for muscle memory right before you step up to the ball. Once you step up and actually rest your club behind the ball, you may have a certain number of waggles, and you may also have a certain number of times you look at the target.
A good example of a pre-shot golf routine to start with if you've never had one before would be as follows. Choose your club selection and be confident with it before you start your pre-shot routine. If you go through your pre-shot routine and are about to swing but feel a wind gust, step back, re-think your golf club selection and start your pre-shot routine all over. This also includes any distractions during your pre-shot routine, just step back and start it over. So now that you have your club, take 1 or 2 practice swings. Then stand behind the ball and pick your alignment, a lot of golfers will pick a blade of grass 1 foot in front of the ball. That way when you step up to the ball you're only aligning your clubface to a blade of grass 1 foot in front of the ball. This is much easier than looking back and forth and at a target and trying to line up correctly. Then you take one waggle, one last look, at the target, visualize your perfect shot and take your swing.
This is just an example but it's a starting point to developing your own pre-shot golf routine. You can alter it in any way you want. You can also watch your favorite PGA Tour player on TV for tips as well. Also a lot of golfers will develop their pre-shot routine based how quickly they play. If you typically are a fast player on the course your pre-shot routine might be very simple. Sometimes this also helps with you giving you less time for negative thoughts. Or if you are a slower player who is very meticulous and likes to take your time, you may take a few more relaxed practice swings and take your time with each detail of your pre-shot routine. If you're that type of golfer a fast-paced, quick pre-shot routine probably doesn't make sense. You do not want to feel rushed during your pre-shot routine, you should feel relaxed and focused only on the next step of your routine.
It is also worthy to note that some players have different pre-shot routines for full swings, chipping, sand shots, or putting on the green. However, it's still important to have a solid consistent pre-shot routine for every type of shot. For chipping, one part of your pre-shot routine you may walk up to the green and determine exactly where you want the golf ball to land. You may take extra practice swings to get the feel of the shot so you hit it with the correct force and achieve the correct distance. For putting you may read a putt from behind the ball, then behind the hole. You may stand over the ball once to get a feel for the putt, then step back from the ball and focus on alignment. Regardless of all of this make sure all of your pre-shot routines are consistent and literally become second nature.
You may also find that over time you add steps or remove steps from your pre-shot routine. This is perfectly fine, you may be working on take your club back low and slow, so you add that move in and repeat it 3 times for added confidence and muscle memory. Developing a solid pre-shot routine may take some time before you are 100% comfortable and confident you have it perfected. You want it to mimic your style as a golfer, but once you have it down and consistently apply it to each shot you'll continually see improvement. You also should practice it and not only make sure you apply it to every single shot on the course but you should also go through your pre-shot routine while on the driving range. This will force you to not only solidify your pre-shot routine but also makes sure you are practicing properly on the range and thinking about every shot. It's important to practice with a purpose and rushing through a bucket of balls just to say you practiced today isn't helping. So start to begin forming and practicing your pre-shot routine today and you'll begin to notice a lot of improvement in your scores as well as your course management and the mental aspects of golf.

OHSU Auditorium Building Exterior Condition & Interior Assessment
The Auditorium Building was designed by the architect Ellis F. Lawrence and constructed in 1939. The University of Oregon (now Oregon Health and Science University) had hired Lawrence to design other buildings on the campus with the vision of creating an "acropolis of healing" on top of Marquam Hill.
The condition assessment included the exterior facade of the Auditorium Building and categorized the need of repair into three priority levels.
Building Envelope Corrections:
- Level 1 Priority Repairs should be completed in order to prevent further damage to the building. Many of these repairs are necessary to solve water intrusion problems.
- Level 2 Priority Repairs are repairs to damaged areas within the building. The repairs are designed to maintain building materials and to extend the lifespan of the materials.
- Level 3 Priority Repairs are associated with rehabilitation of the space to create greater historic integrity.
Additionally, PMA collaborated with Heritage Conservation Group, LLC, to survey and document the cultural heritage holdings in the Auditorium building.

#SharePoint | Value cannot be null, parameter name: g
Problem:
Moving documents in SharePoint can be a difficult task at times.
One of the biggest challenges is keeping previous document versions.
In some cases, it works if you simply move the documents from one place to the other, while using explorer views (nb: only works for MOVE operation, not for COPY).
In other cases, explorer view, site content and structure and even 3rd party tools will fail to accomplish this.
One of the reasons - and the one explained in this post - is a problematic field schema. More specifically, the lack of a certain attribute on a certain type of field, that will prevent the operation from running successfully, resulting in screens such as the ones below.

 http://.../Demo Document 001.docx: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: g

Solution:
In this case, it appears that we have a field with type "User", which does NOT have the attribute "List" set to "UserInfo", which seems to be a must.
Although we might not have problems adding and editing documents without this attribute, we will definitely have problems with migrations, import/export, etc., in the future.
To solve this, I have a script with two steps.
1) identify fields of type "User" in the document library
The script outputs four entries or fields. three of them are internal fields, and one is our custom field.
function PrintFields($web, $listName)
{
 $lib = $web.Lists.TryGetList($listName)
 if($lib -eq $null)
 {
 throw "List $listName does not exist!"
 }
 Write-Warning "Displaying User fields for list $listName"
 write-host ""

 $lib.Fields | where-object {$_.Type -eq "User"} | select InternalName, Type, SchemaXml | format-list
}
2) Add the missing attribute (SPField.SetAttribute)
function EditFieldXML($lib, $targetField)
{
 try
 {
 $fld = $lib.Fields.GetFieldByInternalName($targetField)
 }
 catch
 {
 write-warning "Field $targetField does not exist!"
 write-host ""
 return
 }
 Write-Host Current field definition $fld.SchemaXml
 write-host $newLine
 $fld.Sealed = $false
 $fld.PushChangesToLists = $true
 $fld.Update()
 $schema = [xml]$fld.SchemaXml
 $schema.Field.SetAttribute("List","UserInfo")
 $fld.SchemaXml = $schema.PSBase.OuterXml
 $fld.PushChangesToLists = $true
 $fld.Update()
 Write-Host New Field definition $fld.SchemaXml
}

text: OBJECTIVES: This study was performed to analyze the factors that affected the decision making process in approving workers' compensation claims for cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases cases that occurred just before refoming approval standards of Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance Act on 1 July 2008 and to provide fundamental information in preparing better standards. METHODS: We examined 283 claims cases involving cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases that occurred between 1 January, 2006 and 31 December, 2007 and collected data based on the worker's compensation records from 3 Seoul Regional Centers of the Workers' Compensation & Welfare Service. We analyzed the approval rates and odds ratios according to the general characteristics, injury information, past medical histories, and work related information using chi-square or univariate logistic regression. In addition, we identified the factors affecting the approval using multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS: Overall, 101 of the 283 cases were approved and approval rate was 35.7%. Approval rates differed significantly according to type of disease, survival, accident site, accident time, the presence of associated disease and overwork (p-value <0.05). In the multivariate logistic regression analysis with adjusted for age and sex, approval rate of death cases with associated disease was lower than cases without associated disease (OR 0.22, 95% CI 0.12~0.42). Approval rate of cases occurred in worksite was higher than others (OR 4.81, 95% CI 2.22~10.40). Cases of accepted overwork had a higher approval rate significantly than cases of not accepted (OR 28.53, 95% CI 9.74~83.52). CONCLUSION: Factors in approving cases of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disease as cases involving occupational disease included conditions of overwork, high rate of accidents in the workplace and the presence of associated disease. It is necessary to investigate further behaviors of work and chronic work-related stress.

If CH isn't true, this means $$2^{\aleph_0}=\aleph_2\:.$$ Does this imply: $$2^{\aleph_1}=\aleph_3$$ or does the CH hold only for $\aleph_0$ and $\aleph_1$? Thanks
share|improve this question
Why should $2^{\aleph_0} = \aleph_2$ if CH fails? – t.b. Sep 5 '12 at 9:18

No, CH just says that $2^{\aleph_0}=\aleph_1$, so its failure just says that $2^{\aleph_0}\ne\aleph_1$. We know that $2^{\aleph_0}\ge\aleph_1$, but it's consistent that $2^{\aleph_0}$ be any cardinal $\aleph_\alpha$ such that $\alpha\ge 1$ and $\operatorname{cf}\alpha>\omega$. In particular, $2^{\aleph_0}$ could be $\aleph_n$ for any $n>1$.
If $2^{\aleph_0}=\aleph_2$, $2^{\aleph_1}$ would have to be at least $\aleph_2$, but it could be much bigger. For instance, it's consistent that $2^{\aleph_0}=\aleph_2$ and $2^{\aleph_1}=\aleph_{17}$.

The negation of the Continuum Hypothesis does not entail that there is only one infinity strictly between the natural numbers and the real numbers. In fact, given any any infinite cardinal $\kappa$ there is a cardinal $\lambda \geq \kappa$ such that $\text{ZFC} + 2^{\aleph_0} = \lambda$ is consistent (assuming the consistency of ZFC itself, of course).
Even if we assume that $2^{\aleph_0} = \aleph_2$, it could still be that $2^{\aleph_1} = 2^{\aleph_0} = \aleph_2$ -- this happens, for example, under the Proper Forcing Axiom, or more simply under the assumption of Martin's Axiom with $2^{\aleph_0} = \aleph_2$. (The Proper Forcing Axiom is a strengthening of Martin's Axiom -- well, formally a strengthening of $\text{MA} ({\aleph_1})$ -- which fixes the size of the continuum at $\aleph_2$.)
On the other hand, we can have $2^{\aleph_0} = \aleph_2$ and $2^{\aleph_1} > \aleph_3$. Very similar techniques for showing the consistency of $\neg \text{CH}$ can be applied to give the above.
The most general statement in this realm is Easton's Theorem which essentially says that except for certain basic restrictions, the function $\aleph_\alpha \mapsto 2^{\aleph_\kappa}$ can be consistently arbitrary.

Behaviour of interturn winding fault signals in a three-phase two-winding transformer with delta connected primary and wye connected secondary, using high frequency components of DWT is proposed in this paper. The mother wavelet daubechies4 (db4) is employed to decompose high frequency components from signals. Various case studies have been done including the variation of fault inception angles, fault types, and fault locations. The result will be useful in the development of a fault detecting scheme for power transformer in the future.

Is there any way to get the total page count after selecting multiple word documents in a folder?
share|improve this question
3 Answers 3
Hopefully this will enlighten you a little further than the rather brief answer provided by another user.
Simple answer: no.
Detailed answer: A MS Word document only has "pages" once it is generated (i.e. opened). The main reason for this is to do with the page size. For example: if you have three documents under scrutiny, formatted to sizes A5, A4 & A3 respectively, then to count the number of pages collectively would be practically impossible to display in a simple, logical / coherent format.
The only potential way around this is to write some custom software which opens each desired document one after the other, logs the page sizes of each respective document, and then counts the number of pages within each page size category and logs it before closing each document and proceeding to the next.
Hopefully this will be of help to you.
Many thanks.
Adam's response (Nov 22 '12 at 15:08) is also somewhat correct and I feel that I should elaborate on my answer; Word does store a page count for some document types, but not all, as Adam quite rightly states. I chose to treat this factor as an 'all or nothing' property; either it stores a page count for all document types, or none at all. Hence why if you extract the page count property from each document, it may result in incorrect / inaccurate data due to particular file types not being read. This is why my suggestion of custom software would be the best overall option as the data can become stale or inaccurate and not always reflect the facts. This is why it is better to consider Word as not storing any page number properties rather than just some.
I hope this also helps?

Thanks for the info. I don't suppose you have a link to any such custom software? – Paul Spangle Nov 20 '12 at 11:57
I'm afraid not; however, the logic behind the software should not be too difficult to implement. The software is required to look in a directory, locate all.doc /.docx files and then from there, open the document, log the number of pages (if you wish to include page size here, it will require more detailed analysis of the document), add the total to a running count for each page size, then close the document and move onto the next until all have been analysed. – SnookerFan Nov 20 '12 at 15:09

The choice to select an answer is entirely the user's; if they don't want to select an answer, they don't have to. I'm sure it's no coincidence that your sudden and intense interest in this user marking their solution is not coincidental.

Not coincidental in relation to what, exactly? – SnookerFan Oct 21 '13 at 10:12
Has this worked? – SnookerFan Nov 22 '13 at 10:16
This same question came up at work and Google brought me here. There isn't a way to select the documents in Windows Explorer and obtain a page count, but there are other methods that might provide a good enough estimate.
I'm thinking of trying out this PowerShell script: Hey, Scripting Guy! How Do I Count the Number of Pages in a Group of Office Word Documents? For an end user I would set up a shortcut and maybe prompt for the folder location.
share|improve this answer
SnookerFan's detailed answer is a little off, Microsoft Word does store the number of pages in a document as a document property when the document is saved. This value is what shows up in the explorer when you view the properties of the file and it should be correct 99% of the time although I'm sure there are some situations where the value of this property could become stale and incorrect.
Therefore you could create a simple application and even make it into a shell plugin to query this property and add the values together.
One thing to keep in mind is this property is displayed for DOC and DOCX documents but isn't for RTF format even though it is written to the RTF document (represented by the {\nofpagesX} keyword).

Button group
Group a series of buttons together on a single line with the button group, and super-power them with javascript. Read the Official Bootstrap Documentation for a full list of instructions and other options.
Basic example
Wrap a series of buttons with.btn in.btn-group.
Button toolbar
Combine sets of button groups into button toolbars for more complex components. Use utility classes as needed to space out groups, buttons, and more.
Feel free to mix input groups with button groups in your toolbars. Similar to the example above, you'll likely need some utilities though to space things properly.
Instead of applying button sizing classes to every button in a group, just add.btn-group-* to each.btn-group, including each one when nesting multiple groups.

This is because the serial number is not a property of the device object in EntraID; it's a property in Intune.
When you enable the device cleanup feature in Intune, the device gets deleted from Intune, but the corresponding EntraID object remains. This happens because the cleanup feature only affects Intune.
For Windows devices, you could theoretically check each device in Autopilot and search for the EntraID object, but this isn't practical.
Similarly, for MacOS devices, you could check each device in Apple Business Manager and search for the EntraID object, but this also isn't practical.
A better solution is to write the serial number of each device to an extension attribute of the corresponding EntraID object. This way, you can search for the device in EntraID and retrieve the serial number from the extension attribute.
Introduction
What are Extension Attributes?
Extension Attributes are custom properties that can be added to objects in Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) to store additional information beyond the standard attributes. These custom attributes allow organizations to extend the schema of Entra ID objects, including devices, to accommodate specific business needs or integrate with other systems.
For devices, Extension Attributes provide a flexible way to associate custom metadata with each device record in Entra ID. This can include information such as asset tags, department assignments, custom configuration details, or any other relevant data that isn't covered by the default device attributes.
Why use Extension Attributes for devices?
 - Customization: Every organization has unique needs. Extension Attributes allow you to tailor device information to your specific requirements, storing data that's relevant to your business processes.
 - Enhanced Inventory Management: By adding custom attributes, you can improve your device inventory, making it easier to track and manage devices across your organization.
 - Improved Reporting and Filtering: With additional attributes, you can create more detailed and customized reports about your device fleet, as well as filter devices based on these custom properties.
 - Automation Support: Extension Attributes can be used in automation scripts and policies, allowing for more sophisticated device management workflows.
Writing Data to Extension Attributes using the Data in Intune
The general workflow for writing data to Extension Attributes using the Data in Intune is as follows:
 - Create a PowerShell script that gathers the required data and formats it for the Extension Attributes.
 - Authenticate the script to access the Microsoft Graph API.
 - Get the available device infomrations from Intune for each device.
 - Use Graph API calls to update the Extension Attributes for the target devices.
Info
Below are scripts demonstrating the process. Feel free to use your own values for parameters like Department Name, Country, etc. You don't need to use the data from Intune; just understand the workflow and adapt it to your needs and use cases.
Practical Examples
Important
Use these scripts with caution: they will overwrite extension attributes 1 to 8. Customize them to fit your specific needs or use cases.
Write Device Details to Extension Attributes
This script comes in two variants:
 - All Devices
 - Groups
The following details are written to the extension attributes:
 - SerialNumber
 - DeviceEnrollmentType
 - IsEncrypted
 - TotalStorageSpaceInGB
 - EnrollmentProfileName
 - ComplianceState
 - Model
 - Manufacturer
Write Device Details to Extension Attributes for All Devices
This script writes various device details to Extension Attributes for all devices in your Entra ID tenant.
Download Script: _URL_
Key features of this script:
 - Authenticates to Microsoft Graph
 - Retrieves all devices from Entra ID
 - Collects device information such as OS version, manufacturer, model, etc.
 - Updates Extension Attributes for each device object in EntraID with the collected information
Sample Output:
Info
"No details found" will be displayed if the device could not be found in Intune and therefore has no data available that the script could add to the extension attributes in EntraID. Maybe you want to delete the device in EntraID?
Write Device Details to Extension Attributes for a single Group
This variant of the script performs the same function but targets only devices in a specific Entra ID group.
Download Link: _URL_
Key differences from the all-devices version:
 - Retrieves devices only from a specified Entra ID group (Input the object ID from a group)
 - Allows for more targeted attribute updates
Sample Output:
Delete All Extension Attributes
This script provides a way to remove all custom Extension Attributes from devices, which can be useful for cleanup or resetting purposes.
Download: _URL_
Key features of this script:
 - Authenticates to Microsoft Graph using a service principal
 - Retrieves all devices from Entra ID
 - Identifies and removes all custom Extension Attributes from each device
Sample Output:
Retrieving and Using Extension Attribute Data
You have multiple options to show the extension Attributes. I will explain the following three options (I prefer Powershell):
 - Graph Explorer
 - Powershell with Graph API
 - EntraID Portal
Querying Extension Attributes in the Graph Explorer
Microsoft Graph API provides a powerful way to programmatically access and manipulate data in Entra ID, including Extension Attributes. Here's how you can query Extension Attributes using the Graph Explorer:
1. Authentication: Sign in, on the top right:
2. API Endpoint: Use the following endpoint to retrieve device information:
 _URL_
3. Query Parameters: To include Extension Attributes in the response, use the $select parameter:
 _URL_
Permissions
You can check the necessary permissions for a given endpoint in the "Modify permissions" tab.
Querying Extension Attributes with a PowerShell Script
Here's a basic PowerShell script to query devices and their Extension Attributes:
Download Script: _URL_
This script will take any string as an input (Example: Serialnumber) and will iterate over all devices and find you the device that has that specific extension attribute value inside. This makes it super easy to find a EntraID Device based on a Serial Number.
Here is an example where I am searching for a Device in EntraID based on the Serial Number:
Showing Extension Attributes in the Entra ID Portal
While programmatic access through Graph API is powerful, sometimes you need a quick visual reference. Extension Attributes can be viewed directly in the Entra ID Portal:
 - Navigate to Devices:
 - Log in to the Entra ID Portal
 - Go to "Devices" > "All devices"
Info
Currently there is no Extension Attribute Column available. Would have made it so much easier 🙂
 - Click on a specific device to view its "Extension attributes"
Filter by extension Attribute
You can add a filter inside the device overview in EntraID:

Get All Assignments in Intune for a User, Group or Device _URL_ Thu, 07 Mar 2024 15:21:27 +0000 _URL_ Read more]]> This blog post is about the following tool of mine: Intune Assignment Checker (ugurkoc.de)
The Goal of this Script is to get a overview of all Assignments in Intune based on your search criteria.
Input (Identity):
 - User(s)
 - Group(s)
 - Device(s)
Output (Assignments):
 - Configuration Profile
 - Compliance Policy
 - Application
Demo
Background and Motivation
After releasing the tool, I want to provide some details and background information about the topic in this blog post.
Firstly, I am a big advocate for integrating such features into the product (in this case, Intune). Until these are available in Intune, I will continue to write scripts and automate them via Graph.
My motivation for creating this script was to have a straightforward way to view all assignments for an identity, whether it's users or devices, in Intune at a glance. Of course, I can view the assignments through the portal, but only for one device. Generally I do not have insight into the assignments of a user or an entire Entra ID group in the Intune Portal.
After automating the process for the user part via Graph, I expanded the script to support groups and devices. However, this was quite challenging because the responses from the Graph query sometimes changed and I had to adjust the script to understand the response.
Following the release and announcements on Twitter and LinkedIn, I realized there was a significant demand in the community. Due to the feedback and issues on GitHub, I will expand the script and fix bugs. So feel free to visit the GitHub repository: _URL_
Functionality
As mentioned above, the Graph API is the core component of this script. Essentially, the Graph API is the backend, and the Intune portal is the frontend. In short, the Graph API is the heart of it all. Depending on the permissions (Read, Write), we can do various tasks with Graph, even more than what the portal allows, including actions for which there are no colorful buttons 😁.
The Connect-MgGraph command facilitates authentication with the Graph API.


How do I link an Amazon EMR notebook to a Git repository?
Last updated: 2020-12-30
I want to link an Amazon EMR notebook with a Git repository. How can I do this?
Resolution
Associating Git repositories with Amazon EMR notebooks allows you to save your notebooks in a version-controlled environment. You can associate up to three repositories with a notebook.
To create a new EMR notebook and associate it with an existing Git repository:
1. Create a private subnet in a virtual private cloud (VPC).
2. Create a NAT gateway
3. Update the route table to point to the NAT gateway.
4. Launch an Amazon EMR cluster in the private subnet. In the Software configuration section, be sure that you select a configuration that includes Apache Spark, Apache Hadoop, and Apache Livy.
5. While you're waiting for the EMR cluster to reach the WAITING state, add the Git repository. For Git credentials, choose Create a new secret. Be sure that the Username is the alias of the Git account, not the email address. For more information, see Working with aliases.
6. Create a security group with the following two outbound rules:
Rule 1
Type: Custom TCP rule
Protocol: TCP
Port Range: 18888
Destination: ElasticMapReduceEditors-Livy
Rule 2
Type: HTTPS
Protocol: TCP
Port Range: 443
Destination: 0.0.0.0/0
This allows the notebook to reach the internet using the cluster. For more information, see Custom EC2 security group for EMR notebooks when associating notebooks with Git repositories.
7. Add an inbound rule to the ElasticMapReduceEditors-Livy security group:
Type: Custom TCP rule
Protocol: TCP
Port Range: 18888
Destination: Enter the name of the security group that you created in the previous step.
8. Modify the service role for EMR notebooks (EMR_Notebooks_DefaultRole) to allow the secretsmanager:GetSecretValue action.

In this article, we will describe how to migrate data from one CityCloud region to another. In particular, we will use Karlskrona (Kna1) as SOURCE region and Frankfurt (Fra1) as TARGET region.
- Openstack-client installed and CLI access to both SOURCE and TARGET regions through the openstack.rc file - How-To
In case you want to use S3 backend, EC2 credentials with both access_ and secret_ key - How-To
- A storage container and its objects available in SOURCE region - How-To
1. Create S3 and/or Swift rclone configuration file (rclone.conf) for both regions:
An alternative way to use your Swift or S3 config without exposing your credentials in rclone.conf is by using
env_auth=true and then source your OS_* and AWS_* environment variables as needed.
2. View all objects in the container, e.g. test, in the SOURCE region.
3. Create a container, e.g. copy_from_kna1, in the TARGET region.
4. Use either S3 or Swift backend configuration to copy your files from the SOURCE to the TARGET region:
5. Check that all objects are copied to the new container in the TARGET region:

Using Spock to Test Spring Classes
DZone's Guide to
Using Spock to Test Spring Classes
· Java Zone
Free Resource
Learn how to troubleshoot and diagnose some of the most common performance issues in Java today. Brought to you in partnership with AppDynamics.
As the previous post mentioned, Spock is a powerful DSL built on Groovy ideal for TDD and BDD testing and this post will describe how easy it is to use Spock to test Spring classes, in this case the CustomerService class from the post Using Spring Data to access MongoDB. It will also cover using Spock for mocking.
Spock relies heavily on the Spring's TestContext framework and does this via the @ContextConfiguration annotation. This allows the test specification class to load an application context from one or more locations.
This will then allow the test specification to access beans either via the annotation @Autowired or @Resource. The test below shows how an injected CusotmerService instance can be tested using Spock and the Spring TestContext: (This is a slightly contrived example as to properly unit test the CustomerService class as you would create a CustomerService class in the test as opposed to one created and injected by Spring.)
package com.city81.mongodb.springdata.dao

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired
import org.springframework.test.context.ContextConfiguration

import spock.lang.*

import com.city81.mongodb.springdata.entity.Account
import com.city81.mongodb.springdata.entity.Address
import com.city81.mongodb.springdata.entity.Customer

@ContextConfiguration(locations = "classpath:spring/applicationContext.xml")
class CustomerServiceTest extends Specification {

 @Autowired
 CustomerService customerService

 def setup() {
 customerService.dropCustomerCollection()
 }

 def "insert customer"() {

 setup:

 // setup test class args
 Address address = new Address()
 address.setNumber("81")
 address.setStreet("Mongo Street")
 address.setTown("City")
 address.setPostcode("CT81 1DB")

 Account account = new Account()
 account.setAccountName("Personal Account")
 List<Account> accounts = new ArrayList<Account>()
 accounts.add(account)

 Customer customer = new Customer()
 customer.setAddress(address)
 customer.setName("Mr Bank Customer")
 customer.setAccounts(accounts)

 when:
 customerService.insertCustomer(customer)

 then:
 def customers = customerService.findAllCustomers()
 customers.size == 1
 customers.get(0).name == "Mr Bank Customer"
 customers.get(0).address.street == "Mongo Street"

 }
}
The problem though with the above test is that MongoDB needs to be up and running so to remove this dependency we can Mock out the interaction the database. Spock's mocking framework provides many of the features you'd find in similar frameworks like Mockito.
The enhanced CustomerServiceTest mocks the CustomerRepository and sets the mocked object on the CustomerService
package com.city81.mongodb.springdata.dao

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired
import org.springframework.test.context.ContextConfiguration

import spock.lang.*

import com.city81.mongodb.springdata.entity.Account
import com.city81.mongodb.springdata.entity.Address
import com.city81.mongodb.springdata.entity.Customer

@ContextConfiguration(locations = "classpath:spring/applicationContext.xml")
class CustomerServiceTest extends Specification {

 @Autowired
 CustomerService customerService

 CustomerRepository customerRepository = Mock()

 def setup() {
 customerService.customerRepository = customerRepository
 customerService.dropCustomerCollection()
 }

 def "insert customer"() {

 setup:

 // setup test class args
 Address address = new Address()
 address.setNumber("81")
 address.setStreet("Mongo Street")
 address.setTown("City")
 address.setPostcode("CT81 1DB")

 Account account = new Account()
 account.setAccountName("Personal Account")
 List<Account> accounts = new ArrayList<Account>()
 accounts.add(account)

 Customer customer = new Customer()
 customer.setAddress(address)
 customer.setName("Mr Bank Customer")
 customer.setAccounts(accounts)

 when:
 customerService.insertCustomer(customer)

 then:
 1 * customerRepository.save(customer)

 }

 def "find all customers"() {

 setup:

 // setup test class args
 Address address = new Address()
 address.setStreet("Mongo Street")

 Customer customer = new Customer()
 customer.setAddress(address)
 customer.setName("Mr Bank Customer")

 // setup mocking
 def mockCustomers = []
 mockCustomers << customer
 customerRepository.findAll() >> mockCustomers

 when:
 def customers = customerService.findAllCustomers()

 then:
 customers.size() == 1
 customers.get(0).name == "Mr Bank Customer"

 }

}
The CustomerRepository is by way of name and type although it could be inferred by just the name eg
def customerRepository = Mock(CustomerRepository)
The injected customerRepository is overwritten by the mocked instance and then in the test setup, functionality can be mocked.
In the then block of the insert customer feature, the number of interactions with the save method of customerRepository is tested and in the find all customers feature, the return list of customers from the findAll call is a mocked List,as opposed to one retrieved from the database.
More detail on Spock's mocking capabilities can be found on the project's home page.

Best Ways To Taste Dab
If you don't know about the dabbing process, when you finish reading this article, you will be more informed. One of the ideal things that many recreational users have come to find out is best ways to taste dab. It has a sensational taste, but may not be for everyone. Dab is a tiny dose of marijuana concentrate and dabbing is the process to which dab is made. The process involves putting a dose of marijuana concentrate on a heated dab nail, after which you would inhale it to reach that high. The dab nail looks like a water pipe attachment.
Tiny Rig
If you wanted to reach a certain flavor during your session of inhaling the dab, it is best to choose a dab rig that has a tiny chamber and joint size. Generally, the dab rig should be as small as possible to improve the flavor. It traps the flavor and saves it or you would say, it preserves the dab taste. It also regulates the air flow. This helps the user to have a longer inhale in one breath. It is suggested taht you use an oil right that has minimum diffusion since it maximizes the competence and minimizes the compression of the oil inside the dab rig. When the joints are smaller, they also provide sustained and smoother inhalation in comparison to the chugging that the user might experience as a large dab rig is cleared.
Adding the Quartz Insert or Quartz Nail
Your dab nail is crucial to the dabbing procedure, allowing for one of the best ways to taste dab. The process heats up the dab nail with the use of a coil or torch. The torch material is usually made of quartz, titanium or ceramic. Each of these materials has their own advantages and disadvantages. It is recommended that you use quartz since it improves the flavor. It could be either a quartz insert or quartz nail. What is most important is that you use a surface that is quartz.
The Temperature
Your temperature when you are dabbing should be low and consistent. This is true if you are seeking the maximum flavor each time you carry out the dabbing process. It would be better to ue an electric nail instead of a torch, if you want to manage and maintain the desired flavor. When you use the e-nail or electric nail, it also heats the surface where the dabbing process takes place, but you are able to manage its temperature in a specific manner; thereby allowing you to perfect the desired temperature. Set your temperature between 550-650°Fahrenheit. That is where the sweet spot seems to be.
Refined Concentrate
Your next step to taste dab that is of the highest quality would be to use refined concentrate. If you are going to ingest concentrate from solvent, then you should make sure that the oil has no contaminate, residue from the solvent or plant matter. It would be better to use live resin instead. Extracts without the use of solvent tend to give an enhanced flavor because it preserves the terpenes. The reason could be the fact that it consists of heads of isolated glandular trichome, which have a lot of terpenes in them.
Final Thoughts
One of the ideal ways to taste dab without the high presence of THC would be to dab CBD. This is an effective way as it relates to dab consumption. If you are not privy to cannabis concentrate for your dabbing process, you can make it for yourself using rosin. This can be done safely from your home. You should give this a try soon!

Example sentences for: sry-box
How can you use "sry-box" in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
 - Several other HMG-box proteins also play important roles in lymphocyte development [ 17 ]. Mice doubly deficient in lymphocyte enhancement factor-1 (LEF-1) and T cell factor-1 (TCF-1) have a complete block in development of T cells [ 18 19 ], while deficiency of SRY-box containing protein 4 (SOX-4) in mice results in a lack of pro-B cell expansion and mild perturbation of thymocyte development [ 20 ]. Unlike these HMG-box proteins, however, we find that the HMG-box of TOX is more closely related to the DNA binding domain of sequence-independent HMG-box proteins.
 - Nuclear localization signals are also highly conserved in SRY-box and other HMG-box proteins [ 37 ]. Basic residues outside of the HMG box motif may also function to stabilize DNA binding by these proteins [ 38 ].

Local Notifications were introduced with iOS 4.0 and provide a mechanism for an application to schedule an alert to notify the user about an event. These notifications take the form of an alert box containing a message accompanied by a sound and the vibration of the iPhone device.
The primary purpose of local notifications is to provide a mechanism for a suspended or background application to gain the attention of the user. For example, an audio streaming app might need to notify the user of the loss of network connection or a calendar based application an approaching appointment. Local notifications are similar to the push notification system introduced with iOS 3.0 with the primary difference that notifications are scheduled locally by the application and so do not require the involvement of a remote server.
The goal of this chapter is to build upon the groundwork established in An Overview of iOS 5 iPhone Multitasking by developing a simple iPhone application that, when placed into the background by the user, schedules a local notification event for a future time.
Contents
[edit] Creating the Local Notification iPhone App Project
The first step in demonstrating the use of local notifications is to create a new Xcode project. Begin by launching Xcode and selecting the options to create a new iPhone iOS project using the Single View Application template. When prompted to do so name the product and class prefix localNotify.
[edit] Locating the Application Delegate Method
The goal of this exercise is to configure a local notification to be triggered 10 seconds after our application enters the background (for additional information on background and suspended applications refer to An Overview of iOS 5 iPhone Multitasking). When an application is placed in the background, the application delegate's applicationDidEnterBackground method is triggered. It is within this method, therefore, that the code to schedule the local notification must be placed. In the case of this example, a template method can be found in the localNotifyAppDelegate.m file. Within the main Xcode project navigator panel, select this file and scroll down until the method comes into view:
- (void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application {
 /*
 Use this method to release shared resources, save user data, invalidate timers, and store enough application state information to restore your application to its current state in case it is terminated later.
 If your application supports background execution, called instead of applicationWillTerminate: when the user quits.
 */
}
[edit] Adding a Sound File to the Project
When a local notification is triggered, the option is available to play a sound to gain the user's attention. If such an audio alert is required the corresponding sound file must be added to the application project resources and must be in Linear PCM, MA4 (IMA/ADPCM), uLaw or aLaw format. If no sound file is specified, the default is for the notification to be silent (though the iPhone device will still vibrate).
For the purposes of this exercise we will copy an audio file from the Mac OS X system on which Xcode is running and use it when scheduling the notification. To locate this file, open the Finder tool and search for a file named Glass.aiff (AIFF being PCM format). Once located, drag this file and drop it onto the Supporting Files category located in the Xcode project navigator panel and click the Finish button in the resulting panel. The audio file should now be included in the list of resources for the project ready to be accessed by the application code.
[edit] Scheduling the Local Notification
Local notifications require the use of the UILocalNotification class combined with an NSDate object configured with the date and time that the notification is to be triggered. Properties may also be set to specify the text to be displayed to the user, an optional repeat interval and a message to be displayed to the user in the alert box. With these requirements in the mind, the following code creates an NSDate object based on the current date and time plus 10 seconds. This date object is then used to schedule a notification with no repeats, a text message and the sound from the Glass.aiff file:
- (void)applicationDidEnterBackground:
(UIApplication *)application
{
 NSDate *alertTime = [[NSDate date]
 dateByAddingTimeInterval:10];
 UIApplication* app = [UIApplication sharedApplication];
 UILocalNotification* notifyAlarm = [[UILocalNotification alloc]
 init];
 if (notifyAlarm)
 {
 notifyAlarm.fireDate = alertTime;
 notifyAlarm.timeZone = [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone];
 notifyAlarm.repeatInterval = 0;
 notifyAlarm.soundName = @"Glass.aiff";
 notifyAlarm.alertBody = @"Staff meeting in 30 minutes";
 [app scheduleLocalNotification:notifyAlarm];
 }
}
[edit] Testing the Application
To test the application click on the Run tool bar button located in the Xcode project window. After compiling and linking the application, it will load and run in the iOS Simulator. Once the application has loaded into the iPhone simulator, click on the device home button to place the app into background mode. After 10 seconds have elapsed the notification should appear accompanied by the glass sound from the audio file as illustrated in Figure 45-1.
Clicking on the View button contained within the notification window will return the localNotify application to the foreground. The Close button simply dismisses the notification window leaving the current foreground application (assuming one is running) unchanged.
An iPhone iOS 5 local notification triggered
Figure 45-1
[edit] Cancelling Scheduled Notifications
Previously scheduled notifications may be cancelled by obtaining a list of outstanding notifications. These notifications are provided in the form of an NSArray object, the contents of which may be used to cancel individual notifications using the cancelLocalNotification method. All currently scheduled notifications may also be cancelled using the cancelAllLocalNotifications method as outlined in the following code fragment:
UIApplication* app = [UIApplication sharedApplication];
NSArray* oldNotifications = [app scheduledLocalNotifications];
if ([oldNotifications count] > 0)
 [app cancelAllLocalNotifications];
[edit] Immediate Triggering of a Local Notification
In addition to the cancellation of a local notification, previously scheduled notifications may be triggered to present immediately to the user irrespective of the fireDate property setting. For example, the following code identifies the list of currently scheduled notifications and then triggers the first notification in the array for immediate presentation:
NSArray* notifications = [app scheduledLocalNotifications];
if ([notifications count] > 0)
 [app presentLocalNotificationNow:[notifications objectAtIndex:0]];
Note that notifications presented using the presentLocalNotificationNow method will still trigger again when the specified fireDate is reached unless they are specifically cancelled.
[edit] Summary
Local notifications were introduced in iOS 4.0 alongside multitasking support as a way for iOS applications placed in the background or in a suspended state to notify the user of an event. In this chapter we have worked through an example of scheduling a local notification for a future time when an application receives notification that it is transitioning to the background state. Also covered were the steps necessary to cancel pending notifications and to trigger the immediate presentation of a notification regardless of the scheduled delivery time.

Navigate inside entity objects
Hi All, I am working on an application, where i have list of questions that need to be answered by user. I have all the question created already in a Master Entity and i am using this entity to show questions on a page where i have a template grid (4*4) showing all question number and data view (listing to list view ) to show the correspond questions. Now i have option to click on question numbers to show the question on right in a data view but i want a button also which will navigate me through the question. Like i am on question 1 and i click next and move to question 2. Is their any way by which i can achieve this? Thanks
1 answers
You can try doing the following
 1. In your entity you must have some attribute that determines the order of the question
 2. Develop two buttons in dataview (previous and next)
 3. When pressing the next button, retrieve the current object in dataview,
 4. Based on the order from the object, get the question with next order, pass it to the dataview and refresh it.
 5. I already have my doubts on this, but this is for you to try
Another option to try would be
 1. Try having a template grid showing all details of questions and limit the items shown to 1 with pagination enabled.
 2. But you can not have listen to widget option working between two template grids.

A median barrier is a concrete curb or island that is located on the centerline of a street and continues through the street's intersection with a given cross street.
Strategically located median barriers reduce traffic volumes on a street. Median barriers prevent left turns from the through street and left turns and through moves from the cross street.
Median barriers are very effective in reducing volumes.
Separate opposing vehicle travel lane
Prevent vehicle from passing other vehicles
Depending on location, may improve safety through access limitations
Can be designed with breaks in the landscaping to provide pedestrian refuge
May visually enhance the street through landscaping
|May require major parking removal
Prohibit or limit access and movement (from driveways)
May have a negative impact on emergency services because of access limitations
Median barriers cost approximately $10,000-20,000.
Medians may not significantly affect curbside parking opportunities, but sometimes parking would be prohibited to accommodate the remaining turning movements or to make room for a wider median barrier.
Transit Service Impacts:
Median barriers would prevent transit service on the blocked street.
Emergency Services Impacts:
The turn restrictions imposed by a median barrier would apply to emergency vehicles and are not typically used to block a primary fire response route.
Median barriers apply to all drivers, including local residents. Very special care must be taken to consider the availability, capacity, and appropriateness of the alternative routes drivers might use if a semi-diverter is constructed.
Provision should be made to make median barriers passable for pedestrians and bicyclists.
Examples In Portland:
SE 20th at Harrison Street. SE 20th at Ankeny Street.

What does the idiom "The pot calling the kettle black" mean?
Idioms are generally defined as groups of words that form a meaningful whole when they come together, even though the words in them do not make sense on their own. They have produced many idioms according to their own cultural characteristics in communities using the English language. What does The pot calling the kettle black mean? In what situations is The pot calling the kettle black used?
Meaning of "The pot calling the kettle black"
The phrase "the pot calling the kettle black" is used to refer to a situation where someone levels a criticism or an accusation towards another person, while ironically, the accuser is actually guilty of the same offense. This idiom is used to point out the hypocrisy of the accuser.
The idiom "the pot calling the kettle black" is believed to have originated in the 16th century. The phrase appeared in a 1546 work by playwright and satirist John Heywood titled "A dialogue conteinyng the nomber in effect of all the prouerbes in the Englishe tongue." In the play, a man named John accuses his friend Tom of being too critical of others, and responds with the phrase, "Why, thou doest so, when thou sayest my pot is black and thine is white, the pot calling the kettle black".
The idiom "the pot calling the kettle black" is used to describe a situation in which someone is making accusations or criticisms at another person, while they are guilty of the same offense. It's often used as a way to point out the hypocrisy of the accuser. This idiom can be used to refer to actual situations, as well as more figurative arguments. For example, someone might accuse their friend of being bad with money, while failing to recognize that they too have a history of mismanaging their finances.
- When Jenny started criticizing her sister for wearing too much makeup, her father reminded her of the pot calling the kettle black—she wears a lot of makeup, too.
- I think it's a bit hypocritical of my boss to give me a hard time about being late to work, when he's often late himself—it's like the pot calling the kettle black.
Idioms with similar meanings in different languages
"Barking up the wrong tree" is an English idiom that means to pursue a mistaken or misguided course of action. In German, the similar idiom is "Auf dem Holzweg sein," which translates to "To be on the wrong track." This idiom emphasizes the idea that when you are pursuing the wrong course of action, you are not going to achieve your desired outcome.

Rune of Superior Capacity
|Rune of Superior Capacity|
|Name||Rune of Superior Capacity|
|Source Mod||Blood Magic|
|ID Name|| |
|Affected by Gravity||No|
With fewer than 15 runes dedicated to capacity, it is more efficient to use Runes of Augmented Capacity. The effects of having both runes of augmented capacity and runes of superior capacity stack, but runes of superior capacity do NOT multiply the 2,000 added by each rune of augmented capacity, only the original 10,000.
The capacity of your altar can be calculated with the formula:
1.1^S * 10,000 + 2,000 * A
Where A is equal to the number of Runes of Augmented Capacity and S is equal to the number of Runes of Superior Capacity are in place. Therefore, with 3 Runes of Augmented Capacity, and 5 Runes of Superior Capacity, you end up with a total capacity of 22,105.1, or (1.1^5 * 10,000 + 2,000 * 3).
Rune of Superior Capacity has no known uses in crafting.

How to crossplay with Java and Bedrock Minecraft in one server?
Posted by Aron Kõrgemäe

Blog post leading image
Have you ever had friends that you want to enjoy minecraft with, but they are on Bedrock while you're on Java? Yeah, me too. This changes with Geyser, a groundbreaking plugin that bridges this gap, enabling cross-platform play between these two editions.
In this guide, we'll explore what Geyser is, its importance in the Minecraft community, and provide a comprehensive tutorial on how to set it up on your server.
What's Geyser?
Geyser functions as a protocol translator, seamlessly converting Bedrock data into a format that Java servers can understand, and vice versa. This capability revolutionizes server hosting, allowing players on Windows, iOS, Android, and even consoles to join Minecraft Java servers.
Part 1: Installation
The first step in bridging the Minecraft worlds is to download and install the Geyser plugin. This process is straightforward and similar to installing any other plugin on your server.
 1. Downloading Geyser: Visit the official GeyserMC website and navigate to the download section. Here, you'll find the Geyser-Spigot.jar file, which is specifically designed for Spigot servers. Note that Geyser also supports other server types like Paper, Waterfall, Velocity, and can even run standalone.
 2. Installing the Plugin: After downloading, place the Geyser-Spigot.jar file into your server's /plugins folder.
 3. Starting the Server: Once Geyser is in the plugins folder, start your Minecraft server. This step allows the server to recognize and initialize the Geyser plugin, creating necessary configuration files.
 4. Initial Configuration: After starting the server with Geyser installed, you'll need to stop it to access the newly generated Geyser configuration file. This file, typically located in /plugins/Geyser-Spigot/config.yml, is where you'll make essential settings adjustments.
With Geyser successfully installed, you're now ready to configure it for cross-platform play.
Part 2: Configuration
Once Geyser is installed, configuring it correctly is kinda-mandatory for ensuring that Bedrock players can connect to your Java server without issues. This involves editing the Geyser configuration file and setting up network ports appropriately.
 1. Accessing config.yml: Locate the Geyser configuration file, typically found in /plugins/Geyser-Spigot/config.yml. This file holds the settings that control how Geyser interacts with Bedrock clients.
 2. Port Configuration: By default, the Bedrock and Java editions use different network ports. You'll need to decide on the port setting in the Geyser configuration:
 - Option 1 - Same Port as Java Edition: Set clone-remote-port to true if you want Geyser to use the same port as your Java server. This is the simplest setup and requires no additional network configuration.
 - Option 2 - Custom Port: If you prefer a different port for Bedrock players, first add it as an allocation in your server's network settings, then specify this custom port in the Geyser config file.
With these configurations set, Geyser is now ready to bridge the gap between Java and Bedrock players on your server.
Common Issues & Solutions
1. Connection Issues
 - Problem: Players are unable to connect to the server.
 - Solution: Ensure that the correct ports are open and properly forwarded if necessary. Check the server's firewall settings to allow traffic on the designated ports. Verify that the Geyser configuration file has the correct settings for your server's setup.
2. Version Mismatches
 - Problem: Incompatibility errors due to version differences between Java and Bedrock editions.
 - Solution: Regularly update Geyser to the latest version to support the most recent Minecraft updates. Additionally, ensure that your server allows connections from the supported Bedrock versions, as indicated in the Geyser documentation.
3. Geyser Not Translating Correctly
 - Issue: Some game elements or features not translating properly between Java and Bedrock editions.
 - Solution: Due to the nature of protocol translation, certain features might not work perfectly. Consult the Geyser documentation for known limitations and check if the issue is listed. Update Geyser to the latest version, as updates often include fixes and improvements. If the problem persists, consider reporting it to the Geyser community for further assistance.
4. Performance Issues
 - Issue: Server lag or performance drops after installing Geyser.
 - Solution: This could be due to increased resource demand. Monitor your server's resource usage and consider upgrading your server's hardware specifications if necessary. Also, optimize your server settings for better performance.
5. Skin and Authentication Issues
 - Issue: Problems with player skins or authentication errors for Bedrock players.
 - Solution: Ensure that the Floodgate plugin is correctly installed and configured if you're using it alongside Geyser. Check the key.pem file for consistency across all instances. Verify Bedrock players are using valid Microsoft accounts.
We hope that this guide will help you welcome both bedrock & java players to your own Minecraft server! If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out.

The question is $x = \arctan\frac 23 + \arctan\frac 12$. What is $\tan(x)$?
I'm having trouble figuring out how to calculate the arctan values without a calculator, or do I not even need to find these values to calculate what $\tan(x)$ is? Any help is greatly appreciated (I would show some sort of work, but I am actually completely stuck).
I know that the range of arctan is restricted to $(–90^\circ, 90^\circ)$ or $(-\pi/2, \pi/2)$, but i'm not sure how this helps.
Below is a solution based on right triangles.
enter image description here
Note that $y=\arctan\frac{2}{3}$, and $z=\arctan\frac{1}{2}$. It follows that $x = y + z$.
The question is then: Calculate $\frac{b}{a}$.
Since $a^2 + c^2 = 4$ and $\frac{a}{c} = \frac{2}{3}$, it follows that $a^{2} = \frac{16}{13}$.
Since $a^2 + b^2 = 5$, it follows that $b^2 = \frac{49}{13}$.
Thus, $\frac{b}{a} = \frac{7}{4}$.
The take-away should be that sometimes going to a more basic line of thought can get you unstuck on a problem. Also, this gives some insight on how you can derive the tangent of sums formula.
Use the formula $\tan(a+b)=\frac{\tan(a)+\tan(b)}{1-\tan(a)\tan(b)}$
Let $A=\arctan\frac 23,B=\arctan\frac 12$.
Then, $$\tan x=\tan(A+B)=\frac{\tan A+\tan B}{1-\tan A\tan B}=\frac{\frac 23+\frac 12}{1-\frac 23\cdot \frac 12}.$$

A look back on the history of Ducsu
Dhaka University Central Students' Union (Ducsu), also called the second parliament of Bangladesh, played a significant role in the glorious history of several students' movement.
This was especially during the Language Movement and pro-independence movement in the 1970s and the Liberation War of 1971, when students were the vanguards of citizens' voice.
It also played a role in giving birth to future politicians of the nation.
In this video, we portray almost a century long history of Ducsu. Watch the video to know more.

Consider adding a calf cart to your maternity pen area. At Duo Dairy in Loveland, Colo., a small, hard-plastic cart is stored in the maternity area to assist employees and improve biosecurity. Here are a few ways it helps:
- The employees place fresh straw in the cart and have it nearby when a cow delivers. "If assistance is required, such as with dystocia births, the calf is delivered directly into the cart," says herd veterinarian Greg Goddell. This makes it easy to provide any extra assistance to the calf and limits the exposure to pathogens that may be in the hospital area.
- If a cow delivers on her own, the cart can ease an employee's job of moving the newborn to the calf facility. The cart can be wheeled right into the pen.
- If you are trying to avoid the spread of Johne's you can place the calf in the cart after delivery and allow the dam to clean the animal through a headlock. This stops the calf from suckling the dam and picking up Johne's from the environment.


A Study on the Adaptability of College Students' Ideological and Political Education under the Environment of New Media
New media has rapidly become the important way of college students' school life and interpersonal communication for its fast spread, strong interaction, and universality. When the new media provides hope and opportunities for the ideological and political work in colleges and universities, it also brings impacts and challenges to the traditional way of education. Colleges and universities ought to actively seek for strategies of the adaptability of ideological and political education under the era of new media by strengthening the building of staff, improving political consciousness, building college new media platform, reinforcing college students media literacy education and introducing the new field of college ideological and political education.

Codes of Connection (CoCo) Consultancy
What are Codes of Connection (CoCo)?
A Code of Connection (CoCo) is used when a formally accredited information system wishes to connect to another "unknown" information system. There are a variety of reasons for wishing to connect information systems together, but they usually involve a requirement to exchange data and information.
This page explains how CoCo works, including services such as N3 and the Gambling Commission.
How does CoCo Work?
A code of connection works by the accredited system stipulating a baseline set of controls to be implemented, or commented on, by the connecting organisation.
These controls are usually selected from best practice (ISO 27002) or, more usually, various HMG Information Assurance requirements.
The controls can broadly be broken down into the following types:
 1. Technical, such as implementing an assured barrier between the two organisations or performing an IT Health Check.
 2. Procedural, such as ensuring that all security incidents are reported to the partner organisation.
 3. Physical, such as ensuring that the physical security of assets is adequate.
 4. People, such as ensuring that all staff involved have appropriate background and identity checks or appropriate education, training and awareness.
When the code of connection is completed, the accredited information system will assess the threat the connecting organisation poses. If it believes that the risks are acceptable, it will authorise the connection.
How stringent a code of connection is depends on the level of assurance required between the participant organisations.
What Specific Codes of Connection (CoCo) services are we likely to require?
 - Connecting to N3
 N3 is the integrated network for the NHS, a combination of broadband connections and network services which are intended to link all NHS sites in England and Wales. Our N3 Consultancy service will help you to comply with NHS security policies.
 - Gambling Commission
 Our experienced consultants can help you map a route to compliance with the technical requirements of the Gambling Commission.

Living history celebration explores secret behind Powder Valley Nature Center name
St. Louis — Just what is in a name? Today, Powder Valley Conservation Nature Center in Kirkwood is an ideal place to peacefully enjoy nature.
But the origins of its name come from war.
As part of the Nature Center's year-long 20th anniversary celebration, Powder Valley will present a living history weekend Friday and Saturday, May 13 and 14, for a special two-day program called "Blast to the Past: A History Festival". Visitors will explore the history behind the Powder Valley name and enjoy a fascinating and educational glimpse into the past of the area.
"Although we've only been here 20 years," said Assistant Nature Center Manager Catherine McGrane, "this land has its own history."
The powder was gunpowder. The "valley" was a series of caves that once existed under what is now I-270. According to McGrane, during the Civil War, Federal forces stockpiled gunpowder in the caves to use in blowing up bridges should the Confederate army attempt to invade St. Louis by way of the Meramec River.
The celebration begins Friday night from 7 to 9 p.m. with presentations by three first-person interpreters, each representing a different Civil War-era perspective: a Union soldier, Confederate soldier and a slave. A reception will follow the program allowing visitors to talk with each interpreter.
McGrane thinks it will be an ideal way to get a feel for what people were really like back then. "It's one thing to stand and talk about it," said McGrane, "it's another thing to become the person. Your audience can relate better and be more passionate about it."
The exploration of the past continues on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with events at both the Nature Center and nearby Emmenegger Nature Park. A free shuttle will allow guests to park at either site and visit both.
A variety of historic crafts will be demonstrated such as candle making, storytelling, wood carving and fire starting. Civil War re-enactors will be encamped at Emmenegger Nature Park. Local historian and musician Dee Ban will perform and interpret 19th-century music. A Civil War doctor will display medical instruments of the era. Participants will even have a chance to try their hand at historical skills like archery and the atlatl, an ancient spear-throwing device.
All events during Powder Valley Nature Center's "Blast to the Past: A History Festival" weekend are free of charge and open to all ages. Reservations are required for the Friday evening program, but not for the events on Saturday. For reservations and more information, call _PHONE_.
Powder Valley Conservation Nature Center is located 11715 Cragwold Road, near the intersection of I-44 and I-270 in Kirkwood. Emmenegger Nature Park is also off Cragwold Road, just west of the Nature Center.
The Nature Center will continue to feature special events each month this year to commemorate its 20th Anniversary. Powder Valley first opened its doors to the public in October 1991.

This paper examines the drained bearing response of circular footings resting on structured soil deposits. Numerical simulations have been carried out using a finite element formulation of the Structured Cam Clay model. A parametric study was conducted by varying the parameters that govern the behaviour of structured soils and guidelines are given for designers to identify when effects of the soil structure are important. Under fully drained conditions, deformation within the structured soil supporting the footing usually occurs as a local or punching shear failure due to high compressibility of the structured soil and the mobilised bearing pressure increases with the footing movement, without reaching an ultimate value. A novel approximate method is presented to obtain the load–displacement response of a rigid circular footing resting on the surface of a structured soil deposit. This requires the properties of the soil in the reconstituted state and two additional parameters, which govern the natural structure of the soil. The proposed method has been applied to a published case study, where plate load test results are given for rigid circular steel plates resting on structured soil deposits. Fair agreement is observed between the computed and experimental results, suggesting the approximate method may be useful in design studies of foundations on structured soil deposits.

Dishing it out
The woman, with two children at her side, is breast-feeding an infant. She may symbolise the act of Charity. The figurine is an example of one of the more decorative pieces produced by the porcelain factory in Bow. The piece dates from the middle of the 1750s.
The Bow Porcelain factory was founded at Stratford in 1747. Bow porcelain was created to compete with the popular imported oriental porcelain. But it soon established its own market within Britain. Unlike London's other main porcelain factory of the time at Chelsea, Bow focused on wares for everyday use such as cups and bowls. These were decorated in blue and white patterns imitating oriental designs.
Centre for industry
With its location east of London, on the banks of the River Lea, Bow was well-situated for deliveries of raw materials. Other factories nearby included a calico-printing works.
